The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 649 - 649 608 Adversity

649: Chapter 608 Adversity 649: Chapter 608 Adversity The car stopped on the side of the kilometer-long road, and right up against the highway was a hillside covered with temporary dwellings built from discarded materials—a veritable slum.

“So they actually live here…” Zhang Xinran got out of the car and looked up at the shanties on the hillside, filthy and disordered.

“Let’s go!

Many people have their unique destinies, some can change them, and some just have to accept their fate!” Liu Hun said, patting Zhang Xinran on the shoulder.

The two asked for directions and walked for more than ten minutes along the bumpy road before arriving at a very simple and isolated temporary dwelling, where they heard arguing as soon as they approached.

Liu Hun pulled Zhang Xinran aside, and the two peeked through a hole.

“Ha!

Mu Xi, don’t be so naive!

You really think you have talent?

Bullshit!” A somewhat obese man with hands on his hips threw a stack of song lyrics and music sheets in the face of a woman.

The woman named Mu Xi looked quite attractive, despite being somewhat grimy, and her torn clothes couldn’t hide her impressive figure.

“President Qin, didn’t you say you wanted these manuscripts?

Please, take them!

Look at Gao Yun, he’s so sick, I really need the money!

Please, have mercy!” Mu Xi picked up the manuscripts from the ground, pleading with the man, and her ample peaks jostled noticeably without the support of a bra beneath her worn-out clothes.

“You need money?

Fine!

Nothing is impossible!

You could sell things!” President Qin said to Mu Xi with a smirk on his lips.

Frowning and biting her lower lip, Mu Xi said, “President Qin, you can see my situation.

Gao Yun is sick, there’s nothing here.

What else do I have to sell besides these manuscripts?”

President Qin, rubbing his greasy hands, moved closer to Mu Xi with a lecherous smile and said, “You’re beautiful and have a nice body, why stay in this dump?

Just agree to be my lover, and I guarantee you won’t have to worry about food or clothes!”

“No way!

I would never betray Gao Yun!

Don’t even think about it!” Mu Xi resolutely told President Qin, the bitterness in her suddenly giving way to strength.

“Hmph!

I’m going to have you today!

Let’s see what you can do about it!” President Qin declared and began to take off his coat, throwing it to the ground, and lunged at Mu Xi.

At that moment, Gao Yun, barely alive on the bed, struggled and shouted, “You beast!

Animal!”

President Qin pressed Mu Xi against a rickety wooden table and sneered at Gao Yun on the bed, “You’re trash!

Just watch how I play with your woman!”

“Bang!” Suddenly, a huge sound of a door being kicked in echoed, and President Qin, who was preparing to reach for his ‘tool’ below, was startled and turned around.

“Bang!” A punch came flying towards him, and President Qin immediately saw darkness before crumpling to the ground.

Liu Hun, having punched President Qin in the face, wasn’t satisfied with just one blow, and followed up with several kicks until President Qin was twitching and shrunk into a corner.

“Mu Xi, are you all right?” Zhang Xinran rushed over and took off his own jacket to wrap around Mu Xi, who was already half-naked.

“Xinran!

It’s you!” Mu Xi hadn’t expected to meet her two friends under such circumstances.

“So it was Gao Yun who was sick.

Why did you lie to us before?” Zhang Xinran, looking at Gao Yun lying on the bed, asked in bewilderment.

“My parents didn’t agree, and I…we just had to run…” Mu Xi said, hugging Zhang Xinran and bursting into tears, releasing all the pent-up pressure and suffering.

Liu Hun walked to Gao Yun’s hospital bed, and Gao Yun weakly waved at him and said, “Don’t…

don’t come closer…

it’s contagious…”

“What disease does he have?” Liu Hun turned and asked Mu Xi.

Mu Xi stopped crying and said to Liu Hun, “It’s AIDS…

because we were in such difficulty before, he went to sell blood, and as a result, he got infected at one of those illegal blood collection points…” Mu Xi spoke with a choked voice, and then began to cry again.

“I have a way to cure him!” Liu Hun told Mu Xi.

“Really?” Mu Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up, looking hopefully at Liu Hun, while Gao Yun, lying on the bed, seemed to have a glimmer of vitality in his tired eyes.

“Don’t worry!

I have a secret recipe!

Get him in the car and home first!” Liu Hun said, and after collecting the scattered manuscript from the floor, he picked up the frail Gao Yun, “Let’s go!

Don’t delay!”

“Okay!” Zhang Xinran nodded, helping the ragged Mu Xi follow along.

As they reached the Aston Martin, Mu Xi was so shocked that her mouth gaped open, “My God!

Xinran, is this your car?”

“Yes!

This is my husband’s, Imperial City Entertainment is his company, he appreciates your talent, and as long as you’re willing to write songs for Imperial City, you can buy such a car too, how about it?” Zhang Xinran took the opportunity to speak to Mu Xi, who she noticed was looking worriedly at Gao Yun.

“Don’t worry, my husband keeps his word!”

After hearing Zhang Xinran’s reassurance again, Mu Xi felt more confident, as she trusted Zhang Xinran more, and swiftly nodded her head in agreement.

Liu Hun took Mu Xi and Gao Yun to live in the presidential suite of Observation Tower; after feeding Gao Yun a Blood Pill, he said to a worried Mu Xi, “Don’t worry, his disease will be cured by tonight, but he might have been lacking nutrition for a long time, so he needs to recuperate for some time to recover.

You’ll stay here for now, and Xinran will stay with you.”

After giving his instructions, Liu Hun left.

To his surprise, the next day Zhang Xinran brought Mu Xi to the headquarters of Imperial City Entertainment, and Mu Xi also brought with her the manuscript that Manager Qin had thrown all over the place.

“Honey, I’ve brought Mu Xi with me.” Zhang Xinran said with a smile as she approached Liu Hun.

“Actually, there was no rush.” Liu Hun said to them.

“Thank you, Manager Liu!

Gao Yun’s disease is really cured!

He’s also much more spirited!

I always thought…” As Mu Xi spoke, she became emotionally stirred again, and it took a while for Zhang Xinran’s consoling before she calmed down.

“Xinran has already hired someone to take care of Gao Yun, so I’ve come to work today!” Mu Xi said to Liu Hun, wiping away her tears and speaking with determination.

Liu Hun smiled and nodded, then said, “This is the contract prepared for you and Gao Yun, a house, two cars, a base salary of eight thousand a month, plus a commission based on the quality and quantity of the work, what do you think?”

Mu Xi could never have dreamed that she would receive such a good job offer, as her previous manuscript had been considered trash by Manager Qin, which had once dented her confidence.

Faced with Liu Hun’s generous offer, Mu Xi choked up and couldn’t speak.

“I believe in Xinran’s judgment.

Imperial City is a new company and also the best stage.

I hope you can fully showcase your talents!

I am looking forward to it!” Liu Hun said earnestly as he handed the contract to Mu Xi.

Wang Baizhi’s influence, the talents of Mu Xi and Gao Yun, high-quality production from Zhang Xinran, and Liu Hun’s heavy investment in publicity, all contributed to Wang Baizhi’s first album “Prosperous Age” making a great sensation.

Following the success of this first step, Imperial City Entertainment formally stepped onto the Hong Kong entertainment industry stage.

What was more important was that Liu Hun successfully diverted the people of Hong Kong’s attention from the despondence of the financial crisis back to days of peace and prosperity through song and dance.

Meanwhile, Liu Hun’s first-quarter report on Hong Kong’s economy and public welfare, sent through covert channels, reached the Central South Sea.

A few days later, he received a message from the Central South Sea, advising continued guidance to maintain Hong Kong’s prosperity.

Liu Hun understood the message’s implications, and he also had his own set of ideas.
